When my daughter Maggy was 6-month old, Josy and I decided to get on a plane and go to Europe,
This is a very important aspect for Josy and me, our children need to explore as much as possible to be able to forge their own opinion in the iron.
We had planned an itinerary passing through Paris, Nice in the south of France, Monaco, then Italy, Florence, Venice and Rome, but one thing I didn’t want to miss was seeing Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum in Paris.
It’s all remarkable there, and they greet you with a “Bonjour Monsieur” in a French accent while waving you past everyone else because you have young children (something I love about European countries). But the funny thing is that I speak French from Quebec (Canada), and when I reply back in French:
THEY SWITCH TO ENGLISH THINKING I’M AMERICAN
…And all over FRANCE
WE SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE – But Better!
It’s like if you are an American on vacation in the UK, as soon as you start speaking to them in English, they switch to Spanish because they think you come from Spain…?!?!
It’s insulting!
But the moment I saw Mona Lisa, I understood. I understood the whole story behind the Legend. But the first reaction I had when I saw her was – SHE’S that small?!?! In my mind, something this legendary had to be HUGE.
I started doing some Google research on it later to understand that its creator, Leonardo Da Vinci, took 16 years to paint it! 16 YEARS!
He started in 1503 and finished in 1519. Imagine if he had used AI to paint his canvas. We’d probably never have heard of him if he had. It’s often said that people aren’t interested in how long it takes you to make your product, but in the result they’re going to get, but I disagree strongly.
He took great care himself to pay attention to every detail, using painting techniques that were highly advanced for his time; hardly anyone else used his style.
A lot of mystery surrounds Mona Lisa:
*Her smile seems to change – sometimes she looks happy, other times serious. This is because of a painting technique Leonardo used called sfumato, which creates soft, smoky shadows.
*She follows you with her eyes
*Mystery about her identity – Most believe she was Lisa Gherardini, a merchant’s wife from Florence. But some think it could be an ideal woman, or even a hidden self-portrait of Leonardo.
To this day, this painting doesn’t even have a price tag, because it’s too valuable. They don’t want anyone rich enough to buy it to swell their ego collection. But Leonardo Da Vinci has gone down in history, and is now arguably immortal. More than 500 years after his death, he is still remembered. For the normal world, after one or two generations, you’re completely forgotten on this planet.
I wasn’t around in the 1500s, but I suspect that Leonardo Da Vinci had IP24 in hand when he created his infoproduct. He was a visionary after all, designing cars and flying transport. So if you are serious about building something FAST – Not 16 years and that you can sell easily, consider buying IP24:
*It’s a list of my best strategies, tactics and philosophies to build your infoproduct, something that Leonard Da Vinci might have in the 1500s..
**It’s less afordable than Mona Lisa, but there is no refund
***More rules will be added to IP24 pretty soon.
*****Price will go up to 100$ when the product is 100% done.
